When the Turks arrived in Anatolia, they brought with them one bathing tradition. They were then confronted with another, which was the bathing tradition of the Romans and Byzantines - with certain local variants. The traditions eventually merged, and with the addition of the Moslem concern for cleanliness and its concomitant respect for the uses of water came a new concept – the Turkish Bath.
